Commercial and affiliate disclosure

Straight answers about links, referrals and how we make money.

YourSTR is operated by David Thomas as a sole trader in the UK. Some links on this site, in emails and in future YourSTR resources may be affiliate or referral links.

What that means

If you click one of these links and buy a product or open an account, we may receive a small commission or credit at no extra cost to you. In some cases, you'll receive a discount that wouldn't otherwise be available.

Current involvement

  • Lodgify: existing paid content partnership. Wider 12-month experiment collaboration is under discussion, not confirmed.
  • Boostly: website and CRM project underway with Mark Simpson. Wider experiment terms are being formalised.
  • StayFi: involved, with support and commercial arrangements being established. Not a confirmed sponsorship.
  • Destination Asset: Jacob currently manages pricing and revenue. Formal experiment role and deliverables are under discussion.
  • PriceLabs: existing pricing tool, paid for by the business. No commercial relationship.
  • Google Ads: specialist involvement being explored. No engagement agreed; Google is not a sponsor.

No tracked affiliate links are currently shown in the experiment records. Existing use, paid content and potential experiment involvement are different things. The research records explain each one separately.

Payment does not buy the outcome

  • A company may fund or support work, or pay for clearly labelled content. That does not guarantee a positive assessment.
  • Being listed is not a recommendation, endorsement or confirmation of official sponsorship.
  • Editorial content, test findings and recommendations are never changed to suit a commercial partnership.
  • Paid or sponsored content and any affiliate links will be labelled where they appear.
  • We have no completed experiment verdicts yet. Results from one business do not establish universal rankings or prove a provider works for everyone.

Amazon

Where applicable, YourSTR participates in the Amazon Associates programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.
